Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 428: Open the door and do business!

Prince's residence.

Su Bin came with a happy look on his face, as if something happy had happened.

"The smile on your face never stops. Did the sow give birth at home?"

"..."

Su Bin rolled his eyes speechlessly, then said with a smile, "I have been busy these past few days buying a big ship. Guess what I bought."

"A cargo ship."

Su Chen didn't care.

You can't just buy a building ship from an ordinary shipyard, right?
"Big cargo ship!"

Su Bin had a serious look on his face and gestured with his hands, "A huge cargo ship that is ten feet long! I bought four of them in a row!"

"Each large ship can carry at least 1,000 shi of cargo, so four large ships can carry 4,000 shi!"

Su Chen looked surprised. A large ship with a load capacity of thousands of stones could not be bought by just spending some money.

Most of these sea vessels are owned by large chambers of commerce that go to sea all year round, or they are ships that have been eliminated from the navy and are put up for sale after being modified.

"Where did you buy this big boat?"

"In the dock, of course."

Su Bing said cheerfully, "Do you know about Yong'an Shipyard? The person in charge there heard that I wanted to buy a large ship, so he helped me make some contacts and got four of these large ships."

Su Chen: "..."

Okay.

It turned out to be a discarded tower ship from the navy, which was renovated and then sold.

"I heard that it was a building ship before, but it was released because it did not meet the standards after the renovation. I am lucky, otherwise I really would not be able to buy such a large ship."

"so?"

"So the next step is to go to the Ministry of Revenue to move the goods."

Su Bin smiled, as if he was about to sail out to sea. "I came here today to say goodbye to you."

"So fast?"

Su Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are all the goods from Su Wang ready?"

Su Bing: "Everything is ready and has been moved onto the ship. The 1,500 elite soldiers selected by Your Majesty have also all arrived."

"Now, the only thing missing is the goods from the Ministry of Revenue, otherwise I would have set off early in the morning."

Su Chen nodded. It seemed that Su Bin’s busy work at sea over the past two days was coming to an end.

Su Bing: "I am heading straight to the Lion Country this time, otherwise I would not have prepared so many large ships."

"I hope that this time, I can really make a fortune in a foreign country as you said. Then I will go back to Chang'an and get you a golden Buddha."

"Haha, forget it."

Su Chen does not have any pure belief and has always adhered to the principle that it is better to rely on oneself than on others.

Not to mention the golden Buddha, even if the Buddha came, Su Chen would ignore him if he could not fulfill his wish.

Just like the saying goes.

If your left eye twitches, it's real; if your right eye twitches, it's definitely fake.

"When to set off?"

"I estimate that we can set off around dusk today."

"So fast?"

Su Chen raised his eyebrows. Not fast, but in a hurry.

"Early bird gets the worm."

"The early worm gets caught by the bird!"

"Different."

Su Bin smiled and waved his hand, "I got the news that some cargo ships have stopped operating recently."

"Now is a great time for us to go out to sea. Not only can we sell all kinds of goods along the way, but we can also buy them from other countries at low prices. If we don't go out to sea now, when other cargo ships go out to sea, we will have no business."

It seems to make sense.

Su Chen pondered and said, "After all, this is your first time to go out to sea for business. You must consider everything carefully and must not make any mistakes."

Su Bin smiled and nodded, "I've thought about it. This time we won't go far. Let's go to Luzon and Ryukyu first. If there are no problems, we will continue south to the Lion Country."

"If there is any accident on the way, we can also return home and dock at the nearest dock of our Tang Dynasty. I don't believe anyone would dare to chase us."

Seeing that Su Bin had already made a plan, Su Chen smiled and nodded, "Do you need anything else?"

"no need."

Su Bin shook his head.

As a businessman, it goes without saying that it is difficult for him to handle many things.

However, when he brought out the title of the king's uncle, all the troubles were no longer troubles.

"Okay, I'll order the kitchen staff to prepare a banquet to see you off."

"safe."

Su Bin grinned.

Two hours later, after having a good meal and a few drinks, Su Chen personally sent Su Bin to the dock.

Ten large ships were already waiting at the dock.

The leading ship was extremely majestic, with elite soldiers standing on the deck, looking straight ahead. Combined with the weapons they carried, one could tell from a distance that this ship could run rampant on the sea.

The next largest types of warships are the battleships. Although they are not as big as the tower ships, they are filled with elite soldiers and hold spears in their hands, making them difficult to mess with.

but.

What puzzled Su Chen was why these soldiers were not equipped with muskets?
After boarding the ship, Su Chen was suddenly speechless.

"How about it? The watchtower where I, the commander, am located is pretty good, right?" Su Chen rolled his eyes. Your commander would prepare drinks and snacks in the watchtower, and hang all kinds of goods on the walls?
"Didn't the Ministry of Industry provide them with weapons?"

"You mean the musket, right?"

Su Chen nodded.

Compared with ground fighting weapons such as spears, they are not very useful on the deck.

If we really fight each other and get on the deck, a knife will be more useful than anything else.

"Of course they were equipped with muskets, but I didn't ask them to take them out."

"???"

What's the idea?
Su Chen looked puzzled and asked, "Why don't you equip the soldiers with weapons and keep them for the New Year?"

“This is my little thought.”

Su Bin said softly: "Everyone standing on the shore can see the soldiers on the deck and the weapons they hold."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"If it were just ordinary bows and arrows, there would inevitably be bold and arrogant people who would attack us."

"Once they start, if we take out our muskets..."

"Hey hey hey."

Su Bin smiled, leaving the rest of the words unsaid.

Su Chen remained silent and gave a thumbs up.

Damn, you are such a black hearted guy.

Although you have powerful weapons, you hide them, giving people the impression that you are just a little bit stronger than them.

If you want to touch me, do it now, it will be too late.

But if someone really takes action, those muskets will give the other party a good beating, letting them know what it means to play dumb and eat the tiger.

"If we really encounter pirates, ordinary pirate teams will naturally not dare to fight you..."

"But what if the officers and soldiers are dressed as pirates?"

Su Bin said meaningfully, "You have never been to Shang, so you don't know how deep the water is."

"We can show weakness, but we can't be truly weak."

"Sometimes, we don't have to let them do it. We can also take the initiative."

"...?"

Su Chen raised his eyebrows. Why did this script feel a little off?

Are you going overseas to do business, or to develop overseas colonies under the guise of doing business? ?

"Sir, Lord Zhang Mingcheng from the Ministry of Revenue wants to see you."

"Invite him over."

"Your humble servant Zhang Mingcheng greets His Majesty the King's uncle and His Majesty the Prince."

"No need to be polite."

Su Bin smiled and waved his hand, "Are all the things packed?"

"Return to the country, uncle. All the goods you requested have been loaded and are ready to leave at any time."

"very good."

Su Bin nodded, "I'm sorry to bother you, Master Zhang, this time."

After saying that, Su Bing winked at the servant beside him and stuffed a bulging purse into Zhang Mingcheng's hand.

"Uncle of the King..."

"This is a reward from you. Even if His Majesty asks, you can just tell him directly."

"Thank you, Uncle."

Zhang Mingcheng smiled and bowed to express his gratitude, "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

Su Bin nodded, watched Zhang Mingcheng leave, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Su, after this separation, I don't know when we will meet again. Take care."

"Take care of yourself."

Su Chen nodded.

After bidding farewell to Su Bin, Su Chen led his men off the boat. Standing on the shore, he watched Su Bin leave and waved goodbye.

One after another, large ships were sailing in unison towards the distance.

"Your Majesty, why doesn't the uncle wait until after the New Year to leave?"

"I'm afraid he has his own ideas."

Su Chen smiled and said, "I wonder what kind of trouble his idea will bring to those countries."

"trouble?"

Sun Qiang and his companions looked surprised.

Su Bin looks very amiable, so it shouldn't be the case, right?
Su Chen sighed. It was not difficult to tell from Su Bin's preparation and words that this guy already had his own plans for going out to sea for business this time.

With the 1,500 elite soldiers, 500 strong boatmen, and weapons in his hands, who knows if he will get excited and lead his troops to attack...

How shocked will the rulers of Luzon, Ryukyu, Lion Kingdom and other countries be?

Su Chen could even imagine Su Bin greeting people with a smile on his face while his men fired their guns and shouted loudly.

Brother, please open the door. I am here to bring you warmth.

Do not misunderstand.

I just want to do business with you, not to take over your royal city and your girl...

emmmmm.

That would be great fun.
